Election of new Dispute Resolution Commission Chairman set for today in Mogadishu

Goobjoog News/Mogadishu: The election of the new chairman of the Electoral Dispute Commission is set to take place in Mogadishu today, at 11:00 am.

The election of the Chairman comes following the removal of seven senior members, including the chairman of the Dispute Resolution Committee by Prime Minister Roble after they were accused of impartiality and violation of the electoral code of conduct.

The Organizing Committee for the election of the chairman of the Electoral Dispute Commission has stated that among other requirements, a candidate interested in the position should be a member of the Indirect Electoral Dispute Resolution Committee.

The Committee further said that voting will be by secret ballot and that if the Deputy of the Disputes Electoral Commission has declared interest for the seat, then he should tender his resignation first before vying for the seat.
